Weird game, but fun

So it’s called “Crimson Room”, requires flash, and it’s basically a Myst sorta game. Took me about an hour and a single, very obscure hint from a friend (I’m weak, I know, but the game was killing my brain). I just wanted to spread the pain :D.

I can’t understand why I can’t open the door, even though I three keys. Am I missing somthing? :confused:

Yeah, there’s quite a bit to the puzzle. Finding stuff is half of it, the other half is figuring out what to do with the items you get.

Eek. Just got out. Took around 20 minutes. Interesting game. Some of the spots that you have to click are tiny!

It took you 20 minutes?? I was out in a little over an hour. :frowning:

Ah… I got it too finally. Probably around 30 minutes. My favorite parts are the bad translations. “There is no strange thing.” “The key does not suit.” Ha ha ha.

So much of it, though, was just clicking until you find the right spot. That’s not very innovative, but it wasn’t as bad as it could have been. I did get chills when that shadow pointed to the spot on the wall. Like some something out of a ghost movie. Heh.

Arrgh! I have a tape, I have a battery… So there must be a tape player, right? So where the heck is it?!? Oh, well, more searching in store…

Woo, found it! But now I can’t seem to click that little green star that pops up in the movie with any results. Bah.

Bwahahaha! Did it! Finally! :smiley:

What part took the longest for people?

I had a bitch of a time finding the heavy ring in the curtain.

For me, it was finding the stick, I think. At that point, I KNEW there was something else for me to find, but I just couldn’t figure out where.

Hey, does anyone know where to find other games of this type on the Web? They seem few and far between to me…

On the web? Not necessarily…, but games similar to it are Myst, The 7th Guest, and Phantasmagoria as well I think. They’re fun, but they just get too frustrating for me. I like logic puzzles, crosswords and the like just piss me off a lot of the time :p.

Myst was quite possibly the most difficult game I ever played in my life. And that was over 10 years ago.

Finding the battery took the longest for me. And I was basically doing the right thing to find it. Click everywhere conceivable, and stumble across it on the 1000th click.

There’s nothing exactly like this that I know of, but I have samorost and Chasm handy, so I’ll mention those.

For free? I did I quick search and found Motas, which might keep you busy for a while. There’s also The Stone, which is not free (though there are some free puzzles if you’re interested) and involves massive web searches for information instead of clickfests. I got into it way back when it was a flat fee (and there still were actual Stones) so I don’t feel bad about never finishing those.

Any help on the combination for the wall safe?

(Kind of boring, but I would like to see it through.)

That was entertaining way to spend a half hour, but I can’t help feeling that the purpose of the final item could’ve been replaced with a good, swift kick right from the start. :slight_smile:

There should be one item you’ve found that you haven’t used yet. If you go there, you should get the combination.

Damn, that sounds cryptic
:smiley:

I hate crap like this.

[spoiler]I’ve got the box, put the two rings on it, have three keys, a tape and a power cord. Last time I got this far I got a battery too but this time round I can’t find it.

What the hell do I do know and is it worth it?[/spoiler]

Isn’t that hidden at the foot of the bed? If it is, it’s the thing that took me forever to find.
